BACKGROUND

Compounds of the above general formula I, the tautomers, the diastereomers, the enantiomers, the mixtures thereof and the salts thereof, particularly the physiologically acceptable salts thereof, have been described in WO 01/27081 and WO 04/13099 as having valuable pharmacological properties, in particular an inhibiting effect on various kinases, especially receptor tyrosine kinases such as VEGFR2, PDGFRα, PDGFRβ, FGFR1, FGFR3, EGFR, HER2, IGF1R and HGFR, as well as complexes of CDK's (Cyclin Dependent Kinases) such as CDK1, CDK2, CDK3, CDK4, CDK5, CDK6, CDK7, CDK8 and CDK9 with their specific cyclins (A, B1, B2, C, D1, D2, D3, E, F, G1, G2, H, I and K) and to viral cyclin (cf. L. Mengtao in J. Virology 71(3), 1984-1991 (1997)), and on the proliferation of cultivated human cells, in particular endothelial cells, e.g. in angiogenesis, but also on the proliferation of other cells, in particular tumour cells.

However, none of these compounds have been described for their use in the treatment or prevention of the fibrotic diseases referred to in the present invention.

Remodeling is a normal response to tissue injury and inflammation that is observed in many tissues throughout the body. After resolution of the inflammation and repair of tissue damage, the tissue is generally returned to its original condition. Excessive uncontrolled tissue repair or the failure to stop remodeling when it is no longer required leads to condition known as fibrosis. Fibrosis is characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix components and overgrowth of fibroblasts. Fibrosis can occur in all tissues but is especially prevalent in organs with frequent exposure to chemical and biological insults including the lung, skin, digestive tract, kidney, and liver (Eddy, 1996, J Am Soc Nephrol, 7(12):2495-503; Dacic et al., 2003, Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol, 29S: S5-9; Wynn, 2004, Nat Rev Immunol, 4(8):583-94). Fibrosis often severely compromises the normal function(s) of the organ and many fibrotic diseases are, in fact, life-threatening or severely disfiguring, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), liver cirrhosis, scleroderma, or renal fibrosis. Treatment options for these diseases are often limited to organ transplantation, a risky and expensive procedure.

A large body of literature implicates the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and transforming growth factor beta (TGFb) growth factor families in the induction or persistence of fibrosis (Levitzki, Cytokine Growth Factor Rev, 2004, 15(4):229-35; Strutz et al., Kidney Intl, 2000, 57:1521-38; Strutz et al., 2003, Springer Semin Immunopathol, 24:459-76; Rice et al., 1999, Amer J Pathol, 155(1):213-221; Broekelmann et al., 1991, Proc Nat Acad Sci, 88:6642-6; Wynn, 2004, Nat Rev Immunol, 4(8):583-94).

PDGF, EGF and FGF family members are potent mitogens for mesenchymal cells such as smooth muscle cells, myofibroblasts and fibroblasts (Benito et al., 1993, Growth Regul 3(3):172-9; Simm et al, 1998, Basic Res Cardiol, 93(S3):40-3; Klagsburn, Prog Growth Factor Res, 1989, 1(4):207-35; Kirkland et al., 1998, J Am Soc Nephrol, 9(8):1464-73), the very cells which supplant normal tissue in fibrosis and are believed to play a role in tissue remodeling (Abboud, 1995, Annu Rev Physiol., 57:297-309; Jinnin et al., 2004, J Cell Physiol, online; Martinet et al., 1996, Arch Toxicol 18:127-39; Desmouliere, Cell Biology International, 1995, 19:471-6; Jelaska et al., Springer Semin Immunopathol, 2000, 21:385-95).

Inhibition of PDGF attenuates both liver fibrosis and lung fibrosis in experimental models, suggesting fibrosis in different organs may have a common origin (Borkham-Kamphorst et al., 2004, Biochem Biophys Res Commun; Rice et al., 1999, Amer J Pathol, 155(1):213-221). An EGF receptor kinase inhibitor was also active in this lung fibrosis model. Three-fold overexpression of an EGF family member, HB-EGF, in mouse pancreas islets was sufficient to cause development of fibrosis in both the exocrine and endocrine compartments (Means et al., 2003, Gastroenterology, 124(4):1020-36).

Similarly, FGF1/FGF2-deficient mice show dramatically decreased liver fibrosis after chronic carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) exposure (Yu et al., 2003, Am J Pathol, 163(4):1653-62). FGF expression is increased in human renal interstitial fibrosis where it strongly correlates with interstitial scarring (Strutz et al., 2000, Kidney Intl, 57:1521-38) as well as in a model of experimental lung fibrosis (Barrios et al., 1997, Am J Physiol, 273 (2 Pt 1):L451-8), again lending credence to the idea that fibrosis in various tissues has a common basis.

In addition, elevated levels of VEGF have been observed in several studies in persons with asthma (Hoshino et al., 2001, J Allergy Clin Immunol 107:1034-39; Hoshino et al., 2001, J Allergy Clin Immunol 107:295-301; Kanazawa et al., 2002, Thorax 57:885-8; Asai et al., J Allergy Clin Immunol 110:571-5, 2002; Kanazawa et al., 2004, Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 169:1125-30). Inducible expression of VEGF in a transgenic mouse model induces an asthma-like phenotype, edema, angiogenesis and smooth muscle hyperplasia (Lee et al., 2004, Nature Med 10:1095-1103).

Finally, TGFb stimulates production of extracellular matrix proteins including fibronectin and collagens and is believed to play an important role in fibrosis in many tissues (Leask et al., 2004, FASEB J 18(7):816-27; Bartram et al., 2004, Chest 125(2):754-65; Strutz et al., 2003, Springer Semin Immunopathol, 24:459-76; Wynn, 2004, Nat Rev Immunol, 4(8):583-94). Inhibitors of TGFb production and signaling pathways are active in a number of fibrosis animal models (Wang et al., 2002, Exp Lung Res, 28:405-17; Laping, 2003, Curr Opin Pharmacol, 3(2):204-8).

As summarized above, several growth factors are upregulated in fibrosis and the inhibition of a single factor seems to reduce the severity of fibrosis in the fibrosis models.

Biological Activity

The following experimental results illustrate the present invention without representing a limitation of its scope.

Example B1

In the following experiments of Example B1, Example A denotes the compound 3-Z-[1-(4-(N-dimethylaminomethylcarbonyl-N-methyl-amino)-anilino)-1-phenyl-methylene]-6-methoxycarbonyl-2-indolinone, which is compound (m) of the list of the preferred compounds.

(A) Effect of a Representative Compound on Lung Morphology Following Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Materials and Methods

Bleomycin sulfate (Bleomycin HEXAL™) was purchased from a local pharmacy.

Bleomycin Administration and Treatment Protocols

All experiments were performed in accordance with German guidelines for animal welfare, performed by persons certified to work with animals and approved by the responsible authorities. Male Wistar rats were intratracheally injected with Bleomycin sulfate (10 U/kg body weight in 300 μl saline) or saline alone (saline control) using a catheter (0.5 mm internal diameter, 1.0 mm external diameter) through the nasal passage, following exposure to the anaesthetic Isofluorane for 5 minutes. The following day, the rats were orally treated with Example A (compound (m)) or saline suspended in 1 ml 0.1% Natrosol. Control rats were administered 1 ml 0.1% Natrosol (vehicle control).

A total of 25 rats were investigated and were grouped and treated as shown in Table 1.

TABLE 1 Intratracheal No. of Treatment instillation animals Compound Schedule Bleomycin 10U/kg 10 Example A Days 1-21 (Compound (m)) Bleomycin 10U/kg 10 Vehicle only Days 1-21 Saline (300 μl) 5 Vehicle only Days 1-21

21 days following bleomycin instillation, the rats were killed with a lethal intraperitoneal injection of Narcoren™ (Pentobarbital Sodium, Rhone Merieux). The lungs were then removed, blotted dry and half was snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80° C. The other half was fixed in 4% formalin for subsequent paraffin embedding and histology.

Histology

The lung tissues fixed in 4% formalin were embedded into paraffin and 5 μm sections were cut using a microtome (Leica SM200R) and placed on poly-L-lysine coated slides. The sections were then dried onto the slides (60° C. 2 hours) and then left to cool at room temperature. Collagen deposition was assessed using Masson's Trichrome staining.

Results

FIG. 1A shows the result obtained with the control group, which received saline and the vehicle instead of bleomycin intratracheally.

Rats treated intratracheally with bleomycin and the vehicle developed severe lung fibrosis, as seen in FIG. 1B. The alveoli have been largely replaced by fibroblasts and extracellular matrix and the normal lung structure is nearly obliterated.

Daily treatment of bleomycin-treated rats with 50 mg/kg of Example A (compound (m)) showed a consistent, nearly complete reversal of lung fibrosis in this model. A typical example is shown in FIG. 1C. Alveoli are intact and little or no fibroblast infiltration or extracellular matrix deposition has occurred. Normal lung structure has been maintained, which is evidenced by a comparison of FIG. 1C with FIG. 1A.

(B) Effect of a Representative Compound on Expression of Fibrotic Marker Genes Following Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis.

mRNA Extractions and Synthesis of cDNA

One part of the frozen lung tissue dedicated to investigation of gene expression was cut into small pieces using a sterile scalpel blade. Approximately 100 mg of tissue was then placed into a 2 ml Eppendorf tube and 1.5 ml of Trizol (Invitrogen) was added. A sterile tungsten carbide bead (Qiagen) was then added to the tube and the tube was placed in a Retsch MM300 Tissue disruptor (Qiagen) at a frequency of 30.0 Hz for 8 minutes. After this time, the bead was removed and the sample centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 10 minutes to remove tissue debris. The RNA was extracted using a modified version of the manufacturer's protocol supplied with Trizol. Briefly, 0.3 ml chloroform was added to the tube and the tube shaken vigorously and then left to incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes, after which the tube was centrifuged for 15 minutes at 12000 rpm at 4° C. The upper colorless aqueous phase was then collected and added to 750 μl isopropanol. This was then shaken vigorously and stored at −80° C. overnight. The samples were then incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes, after which they were centrifuged for 40 minutes at 12000 rpm at 4° C. The supernatant was then removed and 500111 of 70% ethanol was added to wash the pellet then the sample was centrifuged for 10 minutes at 12000 rpm an 4° C., this wash step was repeated twice, after which the pellet was left to dry for 10-15 minutes. Finally the pellet was resuspended in 20 μl RNase free water and stored at −80° C. The concentration of each sample was then measured using a spectrophotometer.

Using the Superscript™ III (Invitrogen, Paisley, UK) RT-first strand synthesis kit, 21.1 g of each mRNA sample was reversed transcribed using a modified version of the manufacturer's protocol. Briefly, a mixture of 21.1 g RNA, 1111 random hexamer primers (50 ng/μl), 1 μl dNTP mix (10 mM) was made up to 10 μl with DEPC-treated water and incubated at 65° C. for 5 minutes, after which it was placed on ice for 5 minutes. Following this, to each reaction, 2 μl RT buffer (10×), 4 μl MgCl₂ (25 mM), 2 μl DTT (0.1M), 1 μl RNaseOUT™ (40 U/μl) and 1 μl SuperScript™ III enzyme (200 U/μl) was added and the mixture placed in a thermal cycler (Applied Biosystems) under the following conditions: 25° C. for 10 minutes, 50° C. for 50 minutes and 85° C. for 5 minutes, after which 1 μl of RNase H was added and incubated at 37° C. for 20 minutes. The synthesized cDNA was diluted to 5 ng/μl using the assumption that the RT reaction fully transcribed all of the mRNA to cDNA and was a concentration of 100 ng/μl.

Investigation of Gene Expression Using Real Time PCR

Gene expression was investigated in each of the samples using the Applied Biosystems 7700 sequence detection system. Primers for the 18S endogenous control and TGFb1 were purchased as pre-developed assay reagent kits, whereas primers and probes (see Table 2 below) for pro-collagen I and fibronectin were designed using PrimerExpress™ (Applied Biosystems), ensuring that at least one of the primers or probes in each set overlapped an intron/exon junction, thus eliminating the possibility of amplifying any contaminating genomic DNA in the cDNA sample. The purchased PDARs also amplified only cDNA.

Real Time PCR was carried out in 25 μl reactions, using 25 ng (5 μl) of cDNA per reaction. A quantitative PCR core kit was purchased (Eurogentec) and a master-mix was made up as follows for 100 reactions: 500 μl 10× reaction buffer, 500 μl MgCl₂ (50 mM), 200 μl dNTP mix solution (5 mM), 25 μl Hot Goldstar enzyme, 75 μl 18S PDAR, 22.5 μl forward primer, 22.5 μl reverse primer, 15 μl probe and 640 μl DEPC treated water. 20 μl of this master-mix was then added to 25 ng (5 μl) target cDNA. Each analysis was carried out in triplicate.

In order to quantify the gene expression, a standard curve was constructed for each primer set and was included on each plate. The standards were made up of a mix of all the cDNA's under investigation; this mix of cDNA's was serially diluted 10, 20, 50, 100, 100 times. A standard curve was constructed of the obtained C_(T) (Cycle at which amplification reaches a set Threshold) against the LOG₁₀ of the dilution factor. Curves were drawn for the target gene and the 18S rRNA endogenous control. The C_(T) value for both targets for each of the samples was then converted to a fold dilution using the standard curve and the target gene value was normalized to the 18S gene value.

Statistics

All statistical analyses were carried out using GraphPad Prism V 4.02 software. Comparisons were made using a non-parametric T-test (Mann-Whitney U test) and a significant value was considered to be p·0.05.

Results

The results are shown in FIGS. 2 (procollagen I) and 3 (fibronectin). Each data point represents RNA isolated from the lung of a single rat.

Intratracheal administration of bleomycin and subsequent treatment with vehicle only showed large increases in procollagen I and fibronectin gene expression in the lung, as seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, consistent with the histologically apparent lung fibrosis seen in FIG. 1B.

Daily treatment of Bleomycin-treated rats with 50 mg/kg of Example A (compound (m)) showed a significant (p<0.0001) inhibition of expression of fibrotic marker genes in this model, as seen in FIGS. 2 and 3.

This experiment thus demonstrates that expression of fibrotic markers, and therefore deposition of extracellular matrix, may be dramatically reduced by treatment with Example A (compound (m)).

Example B2

In the following experiments of Example B2, the compound 3-Z-[1-(4-(N-((4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-methylcarbonyl)-N-methyl-amino)-anilino)-1-phenyl-methylene]-6-methoxycarbonyl-2-indolinone, which is compound (u) of the list of the preferred compounds, was used.

All the methods employed are the same as the methods described in the experiments of Example B1, however using compound (u) instead of compound (m).

(A) Effect of a Representative Compound on Lung Morphology Following Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Samples were prepared from rats treated as outlined in above Table 1 of experimental Example B1 (A).

Results

FIG. 4A shows the result obtained with the control group, which received saline and the vehicle instead of bleomycin intratracheally.

Rats treated intratracheally with bleomycin and the vehicle developed severe lung fibrosis, as seen in FIG. 4B. The alveoli have been largely replaced by fibroblasts and extracellular matrix and the normal lung structure is nearly obliterated.

Daily treatment of bleomycin-treated rats with 50 mg/kg of compound (u) showed a consistent, nearly complete reversal of lung fibrosis in this model. A typical example is shown in FIG. 4C. Alveoli are intact and little or no fibroblast infiltration or extracellular matrix deposition has occurred. Normal lung structure has been maintained, which is evidenced by a comparison of FIG. 4C with FIG. 4A.

(B) Effect of a Representative Compound on Expression of Fibrotic Marker Genes Following Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis.

The experiment was carried out using the methods as outlined above for Example B1 (B).

The results are shown in FIG. 5 (procollagen I) and FIG. 6 (TGFb). Each data point represents RNA isolated from the lung of a single rat.

Intratracheal administration of bleomycin and subsequent treatment with vehicle only showed large increases in procollagen I and TGFb gene expression in the lung, as seen in FIGS. 5 and 6, consistent with the histologically apparent lung fibrosis seen in FIG. 1B.

Daily treatment of bleomycin-treated rats with 50 mg/kg of (compound (u) showed a significant (p<0.0001) inhibition of expression of fibrotic marker genes in this model, as seen in FIGS. 5 and 6.

This experiment also demonstrates that expression of fibrotic markers, and therefore deposition of extracellular matrix, may be dramatically reduced by treatment with another compound representative of this invention, namely compound (u).
